From a slew of high-profile guests who’ve come to speak over the past year, to a string of recent awards, to a U.S. Supreme Court justice’s visit next month, it could be argued the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law is having a moment.

The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law has received multiple awards, rankings and individual recognitions of late.

The National Jurist has ranked the school as one of the best-value law schools in the nation in its new rankings. The school scored an “A-” in the rankings because of high bar-passage rates, affordable tuition, average debt upon graduation, employment rate and an attractive cost of living.

Lurene Kelley loves to tell a good story. These days she’s sharing some important stories that often go unheard in her role as special assistant for organizational communications in the law offices of the Shelby County Public Defender.

The real estate market isn’t projected to get back to the pre-bubble bursting days of 2007 anytime soon.

It’s part of the new reality that agents across the board are coping with, and it was the heart of the discussion Thursday, Jan. 26, when real estate information company Chandler Reports hosted its “Master Your Market: 4th Quarter 2011 Update.”

CSS Industries, the parent company of Cleo Inc., will eliminate 588 jobs when it shutters the Memphis plant.

The Philadelphia-based owner of the longtime gift wrap manufacturing company put an exact number of jobs lost on the plant closing set for sometime this year in a filing Monday, June 6, with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

For nearly 60 years, Cleo Wrap has been a part of the city’s post-World War II manufacturing foundation.

The plant, which makes gift wrap, has held on as other factories and plants of the era went under in the 1970s and 1980s. And it has its share of layoffs, cutbacks and other economic scars to show for its longevity.

One example is a new project being handled by John Elkington, CEO of Performa Entertainment Real Estate Inc. He's working with a Chicago-based development firm that wants to transform 67.2 acres of prime real estate on the eastern fringe of Memphis into an upscale retail and entertainment destination with condos.
